Technically it attaches a dll that uses the same memory space as the Cygwin.dll.

your applications to work.  But there is an alternative, Logitech published a

BTW I don't use any of the problematic packages mentioned, this is just

over... it is getting annoying, so many problem reports about the same thing.
